city of Palm Bay: we prioritize our employees
BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA – Cigna Healthcare has selected The City of Palm Bay as a recipient of their 2023 Gold level Healthy Workforce Designation for demonstrating a strong commitment to improving the health and vitality of its employees through a workplace well-being program.
The City of Palm Bay is committed to fostering a thriving community through our wellness program. Our foremost focus is on our employees’ well-being by providing the resources and initiatives that support work-life balance and pathways to personal wellness.
Through workshops and well-being initiatives, we strive to empower employees and their dependents with the tools they need to thrive both professionally and personally.
“The City of Palm Bay places a high value on employee health and wellness, so we are proud to have received the Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation”, said Laura Clawson, Human Resources Director.
” We prioritize our employees’ well-being by offering resources and initiatives that support work-life balance and individual wellness journeys. From workshops to campaigns, we strive to ensure everyone has the tools they need to thrive both at work and at home. We recognize the link between a positive supportive work environment and happy, productive employees.”
“This distinction is evidence that we are on the right track with our health and wellness initiatives. We are grateful to our HR Wellness & Development Coordinator, Nicholena Hamilton, for creating and expanding our program that is designed to reach and benefit every employee.”
Vitality is defined as the capacity to pursue life with health, strength, and energy. It is both a driver and an outcome of health and work/life engagement, and Cigna Healthcare believes it is not only essential to individuals but also a catalyst for business and community growth. Research conducted as part of the Evernorth Vitality Index confirms that those with higher vitality experience better mental and physical health along with higher levels of job satisfaction and performance.
An opportunity remains for employers as less than one in five U.S. adults report having high levels of vitality. A workplace well-being program that takes a comprehensive approach to employee health can be critical in boosting vitality and building a workforce that experiences better overall health and job productivity.
“Higher vitality is linked to a more motivated, connected, and productive workforce,” said Kari Knight Stevens, executive vice president and chief human resources officer, The Cigna Group.
“Employers that foster vitality will fuel a healthier workplace and drive business and economic growth. That’s why we’re proud to recognize employers for their efforts to prioritize multiple dimensions of wellness, build a culture of health, and boost employee engagement.”
The Cigna Healthy Workforce Designation evaluates organizations based on the core components of their well-being program, including leadership and culture, program foundations and execution, policies and accommodations, and additional areas. Organizations recognized with this designation set the standard of excellence for organizational health and vitality.
Cigna Healthcare is proud to honor The City of Palm Bay with the Gold level designation for having made good progress towards a healthy work culture by establishing and growing their employee well-being and engagement program.
